The McDaid-Howard Family Page

Updated September 5, 2000

I am researching the McDaid family from Morrow County, Oregon. My grandfather, Edward McDaid, came from County Donegal, Ireland in 1898 to Hepner, Oregon and made his home there. He married Ellen Doherty in 1899 and they had seven children. My father, William J. McDaid, married Mildred Irene Howard in 1931. They moved to Idaho in the early 1940's.I am interested in finding more about the McDaid's that are a part of the family in Ireland.

I'm also interested in finding more information on the Howard side of the family, as I do not have a lot of information about them. My grandfather's name was Earnest Howard. He married my grandmother, Bessie Bell Hawley, about 1911-1912. They had three daughters, Mildred(my mother), Margaret, and Reitha. I think that they were all born in Springfield, MO. I know that my mother was born there in 1913. My grandparents later divorced, and my grandmother and the girls moved to and lived in Oregon. I don't know anything about my grandfather Earnest Howard and am interested in finding out more.
